Chapter 298: Chen Deng is in danger
Lu Bu threw a wooden box to Hou Chengdao: "This is it, you will give it to Sun Ce when the time comes." ”
Seeing that Hou Cheng was still a little confused, a general stepped forward and explained in a low voice.
Hou Cheng's eyes lit up, and he hugged his fists and said: "The lord is brave and has killed the enemy's fierce general." ”
Lu Bu asked him to give this gift, why not to make him angry, the Jiangdong Army did not bring harm to Guangling's army this time.
How many of the more than 1,000 troops in Jiangdu City were able to escape from the attack of the Jiangdong Army, and Zudu's betrayal made the Guangling Navy chaotic, and its combat effectiveness was less than half of that of peacetime.
Zu Du's betrayal is a disgrace to the Guangling army, and I am afraid that it will become the laughing stock of other generals in the future.
The military general attaches great importance to his face, and now that he has Cheng Pu's head, Hou Cheng feels that his waist is also straight.
After only ten miles ahead, the scouts came with news that there was a battle ahead, and one of them was under the banner of the Xuzhou army.
"The army led by Yuanlong will go quickly." Lu Bu ordered.
It was only sixty miles away from Guangling from Jiangdu, but after withdrawing his troops from Jiangdu, Chen Deng endured a lot of torture.
The Jiangdong Army chased and fought fiercely behind him, and he had no intention of letting go at all, which made Chen Deng even more sure that the Jiangdong Army was plotting against Guangling, and he could only pin his hopes on Hou Cheng.
If Guangling is lost, the status of the Chen family in Xuzhou will definitely be affected in the future, including the fact that it is impossible for him to get Lu Bu's reuse again, the monarch and the courtiers choose each other, and when the courtiers make the monarch feel dissatisfied, it is not easy to have a greater promotion.
The Jiangdong Army's attack on Guangling also made Chen Deng realize the shortcomings of the naval army.
After the formation of the Guangling Naval Army, although the training was impressive, when it really fought against the enemy, it was inferior, and the naval army should not only be good at fighting on the water, but also adapt to the battle on the ground.
Among them, Zu Du's betrayal annoyed Chen Deng the most, Zu Du was a general he picked up, who would have thought that at the most critical moment, it was Zu Du who betrayed him.
"Chen Deng, if you don't hurry up and be arrested, do you think you can be safe by escaping back to Guangling?" Huang Gai shouted majestically.
Chen Deng snorted coldly: "Even if this official dies in battle, he will not take refuge in your group of shameless people, if Wen Hou comes, he will definitely let you die without a place to be buried." ”
Huang Gai laughed and said, "Wen Hou? Now I am afraid that I have to worry about the safety of Pengcheng, and how can I take care of Guangling. ”
"Chen Taishou, if you take refuge in the lord, you will be recommended from it, and the benefits of the Chen family are indispensable." Zudu persuaded.
Chen Deng's fingers trembled lightly and pointed at Zu Du and scolded angrily: "Shameless people, you actually betrayed this official, if it weren't for you, how could this official lose Jiangdu." ”
"Good birds choose trees to perch, why does Chen Taishou need to be like this." Zudu Dao.
"Zudu, if there is a chance, the official will definitely break your body into thousands of pieces, so as to wash away the hatred of the official, and everyone will be punished for the shameless." Chen Deng scolded.
Huang Gai sneered: "Chen Deng, at this time, he is still reckless in front of the general, you look at the soldiers behind him, do they still have fighting spirit at all?" ”
The soldiers who followed Chen Deng's retreat from Jiangdu are now only more than 400 people left, and their expressions are full of panic and uneasiness, the Jiangdong army is like a shadow, and they will not be given a chance to evacuate at all, if this situation develops, everyone will die on the road of retreating to Guangling.
"The people who follow this official are all warriors of the Xuzhou Army, and they are the elite of Wenhou's account, even if they die, they will not take refuge in Jiangdong traitors." Chen Deng said in a deep voice: "The officers and men in the army listened to the order and followed the official back to Guangling. ”
From Chen Deng's words, the officers and men in the army felt the determination to see death as home, and returning to Guangling was the hope of the officers and men in the army, only thirty miles away from Guangling, and the speed of foot soldiers was only half a day.
"Withdraw to Guangling? It's a joke, I'm afraid that Guangling has already been broken by the army led by General Cheng Pu at this time. Huang Gai laughed wildly.
Chen Deng's heart sank, the Guangling Army had reached such a point, and Huang Gai obviously had no need to hide it.
"Nonsense, there are elite defenders in Guangling City, the city is high and deep, and it is delusional to want to break through Guangling." Chen Deng retorted.
The more at this time, the more weak he became, the reason why the soldiers who followed him in retreat did not leave was that they wanted to return to Guangling City, and once they lost their last hope, these soldiers might leave him.
"Kill, capture Chen Deng alive!" Huang Gai shouted.
Chen Deng led the army to fight on the side and left, watching the number of officers and men in the army continue to decrease, Chen Deng's mood can be imagined.
When the sky was light, Chen Deng was surrounded by the Jiangdong army, because Sun Ce led more than 100 cavalry to kill, and the cavalry had such a terrible movement speed on the battlefield, and the speed of Chen Deng's retreat led by the army was greatly affected.
On the black horse, Sun Ce looked serious, looked at the Guangling soldiers in the field and persuaded: "This general is Sun Ceye, put down his sword, this general is not to blame in the past, otherwise he will die." ”
There was a deathly silence in the arena, and if there was any hope of survival, who would want to die, and death meant that everything was over.
The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army around made the soldiers of Guangling feel the breath of despair, and it was obviously impossible for them to get away from the hands of the Jiangdong Army.
The cavalry of the Jiangdong Army was enough for them to pay huge casualties on the way back to Guangling.
"Taishou, what should I do?" One of the generals asked in a low voice.
"After General Hou Cheng returns to Guangling, he will definitely lead a large army to support, which is only more than 20 miles away from Guangling, as long as the officers and men in the army fight desperately, there is no chance to escape." Chen Dengdao.
Chen Deng's words restored some confidence to the generals in the army.
"Chen Deng, I will appreciate your ability, if you are willing to take refuge, the position of Guangling Taishou is still yours." Sun Ce stepped forward and shouted.
Chen Deng was unmoved, if he made such a choice, the Chen family in Xuzhou would really be finished, you must know that the important people of the Chen family are now in Pengcheng, and the betrayal of the courtiers is intolerable to the monarch.
This is also the reason why Chen Deng would rather die in battle than take refuge in Sun Ce.
"Sun Ce, you sent an envoy to Pengcheng at the beginning, but now you are leading a large army to attack Guangling, aren't you afraid of Wen Hou's anger?" Chen Deng asked.
Lu Bu is the pride of the officers and men of the Xuzhou Army, and Chen Deng's mention of Lu Bu at this time has restored a lot of confidence in the officers and men of the army, and they have absolute confidence in Lu Bu's combat effectiveness.
